INTRODUCTION. 


THE  DESIGN  OF  THIS  WORK. — No  publication  of  the  "Statutes"  of  Illinois  for 
popular  use,  can  do  more  than  present  the  general  laws  of  the  state  which  are  in 
force  at  the  time.  This  has  been  done  in  the  edition  of  statutes  which  we  publish, 
and  it  is  all  that  can  be  accomplished  within  the  limits  of  a  single  volume.  From 
such  a  book,  a  very  large  number  of  acts  must  of  necessity  be  excluded,  either  as  be- 
ing not  in  force,  or  not  of  general  interest.  But  a  large  number  of  those' very  acts 
thus  excluded,  are  of  the  highest  importance  to  those  who  are  interested  in  them, 
and  it  often  becomes  extremely  desirable  to  know  exactly  where  to  find  them.  These 
pages,  then,  are  intended  as  a  complete  guide  to  all  the  legislation  of  the  State  of 
Illinois,  enacted  since  1188,  whether  public  or  private,  repealed  or  obsolete,  but 
not  incliiding  any  acts  printed  in  Gross'  Statutes  of  1869.  It  is  in  two  parts,  the 
one  dealing  with  the  Public  acts,  the  other  with  the  Private  acts. 

Part  I  is  a  classified  synopsis  of  all  the  Public  Statutes  which  have  been  enact- 
ed in  the  state  of  Illinois,  since  its  adini&sion  into  the  Union,  in  1818.  This  synop- 
sis is  made  to  perform  the  oifice  of  an  index,  by  being  arranged  in  chapters,  num- 
bered and  entitled  to  correspond  with  our  "Statutes,"  and  will  show  :  1.  A  con- 
cise statement  of  the  general  subject,  or  subjects,  embraced  in  each  act.  2.  The 
date  of  the  approval  of  the  act,  and  3.  The  book  or  books  and  the  page  where  it 
may  be  found  printed  at  large.  This  part  of  the  work  is  brought  down  to  the  close 
of  the  session  of  1869. 

Part  II  is  a  classified  synopsis  of  all  the  Private  and  Local  Statutes  which  have 
been  enacted  and  printed  in  the  state  of  Illinois,  since  its  admission  into  the  Union, 
in  1818.  The  classification  is  by  counties,  with  sub-titles  for  cities  and  towns.  All 
acts  not  capable  of  being  assigned  to  any  particular  locality,  are  grouped  under 
general,  and  it  is  hoped,  convenient  titles,  and  the  whole  is  then  alphabetically  ar- 
ranged. A  glance  at  the  table  of  contents  will  make  this  plain.  The  only  private 
acts  not  comprised  in  this  index,  are  the  private  acts  of  1869,  not  yet  in  print. 

To  avoid  any  possible  mistake,  a  further  word  of  explanation  should  perhaps  be 
added.  In  some  instances,  private  and  local  acts  have  been  placed  in  Part  I.  This 
is  where  there  is  a  chapter  in  that  Part  entitled  with  precisely  the  subject  of  the  act. 
For  instance:  Roads,  Courts,  Plank  roads  and  Railroads.  Some  charters  of  incor- 
porated companies,  which  contain  no  allusion  to  their  locality  are  indexed  under 
Corporations.  On  the  other  hand,  those  classes  of  public  acts,  which  could  not 
properly  be  placed  under  any  chapter  of  the  "Statutes,"  will  be  found  arranged  in 
the  second  Part. 

BOOKS  IN  WHICH  THE  STATUTES  OP  ILLINOIS  HAVE  BEEN  PUBLISHED. — In  Or- 
der to  assist  in  the  examination  of  past  Legislation,  we  have  prepared  a  list  of  all 
the  books  in  which  the  statutes  of  the  state  of  Illinois  have  been  published.  It  will 
be  seen  that  the  first  book  named,  is  the  session  laws  of  1819,  although  there  was  a 
session  of  the  Legislature  commencing  5  Oct.  1818.  No  laws  were  enacted  at  that 
session,  as  an  examination  of  its  journals  will  show,  and  the  reason  assigned  is  that 
the  state  had  not  then  been  admitted  into  the  Union.  The  formal  resolution  for 
the  admission  of  Illinois  as  a  state  was  not  finally  passed  by  congress  until  3  Dec. 
1818.  Hence  the  first  laws  enacted  by  the  state  of  Illinois,  were  the  acts  of  1819.

IWTKODUCTION.  V 

REVISIONS  AND  COMPILATION s. — Indiana  Territory  was  organized  under  an  act 
of  Congress  approved  7  May  1800,  which  fixed  the  seat  of  government  for  the  Ohio 
Territory  at  Chilicothe  on  the  Scioto  river,  and  that  of  the  Indiana  Territory  at 
Saint  Vincennes,  on  the  W abash  river.  What  was  then  called  Indiana  included 
what  is  now  Illinois,  Indiana  and  most  of  Michigan.  In  the  year  1807  Stout  & 
Smoot,  "printers  to  the  Territory"  of  Indiana,  issued  a  volume  of  540  pages.  This  was : 

1.  The  Revision  of  John  Rice  Jones  and  John  Johnson,  "comprising  those   for 
merly  in  force,  and  the  original  acts  passed  at  the  first  session  of  the 
second  general  assembly  of  said  territory,  begun  and  held  at  the  borough  of  Vin- 
cennes," 16  Aug.  1807.      All  the  acts  are  signed  by  Jesse  B.  Thomas,  as  speaker  of 
the  house  of  representatives,  B.  Chambers  president  of  the  council,    and  approved 
by  William  Henry  Harrison  as  governor.     Terms  of  the  common  pleas  court  were 
to   be   held  in  the  counties   of  Dearborn,  (Chicago  was  formerly  Fort  Dearborn) 
Clark,  Knox,  (Vincennes  was  in  Knox)  Randolph  and  St.  Clair.     It  would   appear 
from  this  that  the  two  oldest  counties  in  Illinois  were  Randolph  and  St.  Clair.     The 
Supreme  court  was  to  be  held  at  Vincennes.     Very  many  sections  in   this  old  book 
will  be  instantly  recognized  as  a  part  of  the  law  as  it  is  in  force  to-day,  and  some- 
times whole  pages  appear  almost  word   for  word  as  we  have  them   now.     Attach- 
ments were  not  permitted  except  against  non-resident  debtors.     Divorce  from  bed 
and   board  for  extreme  cruelty  was  allowed.     The  provisions  relating  to  the  licens- 
ing of  attorneys  were  almost  exactly  as  at  present.    So  also,  the  chapter  on  Trespass. 
There   are  some  curious  provisions.     For  instance  :     "If  any  person  of  the  age  of 
sixteen  years  and  upwards,  shall  profanely  curse,  damn  or  swear,  by  the   name  of 
God,  Christ  Jesus  or  the  Holy  Ghost,  every  person  so  offending  being.thereof  con- 
victed shall  forfeit  and  pay  for  every  such  profane  curse,  damn  or  oath,  a  sum  not 
exceeding  two  dollars,  nor  less  than  fifty  cents,  at  the  discretion  of  the  justice  who 
may  take  cognizance  thereof;  and  in  case  he  shall  refuse  or  neglect  to  pay  the  said 
forfeiture,  or  goods  and  chattels  cannot  be  found  whereof  to  levy  the  same  by  dis- 
tress, he  shall  be  committed  to  the  charge  of  one  of  the  supervisors  of  the  highways 
of  the  township  where  the  offense  was  committed,  to  be  kept  at  hard  labor  for  the 
space  of  two  days  for  every  such  offense  of  which  such  person  shall  be  convicted." 
And  again:      "If  any  person  or  persons   shall  kill  any  one  or  more  neat  cattle,  or 
hogs  in  the  woods,  he  shall  within  three  days  show  the  head  and  ears  of  such  hog  or 
hogs,  and  the  hide  with  the  ears  on,  of  such  neat  beast  or  cattle  to  the  next  magis- 
trate, or  two  substantial  freeholders,  under  the  penalty  of  ten  dollars."     And  any 
person    selling   any  hog,  shoat  or  pig  without  ears,  was  to  be  deemed  a  hog  stealer. 
This  revision  was  made  in  pursuance  of  a  resolution  passed  at  a  former  session.    The 
volume  closes  with  an  act  which  declares  all  former  acts  repealed,  except  as  therein 
revised  and  re-enacted. 

On  the  3d  day  of  February  1809,  congress  passed  an  act  dividing  the  Indiana  Ter- 
ritory into  two  separate  governments.  For  the  first  time  the  Illinois  territory  had 
an  independent  existence.  The  act  was  to  take  effect  1  Mar.  1809.  The  seat  of 
government  was  established  at  Kaskaskia,  on  the  Mississippi. 

2.  The  second  Revision  was  by  Nathaniel  Pope.     He  had  been  the  first  governor  * 
of  the  new  territory  of  Illinois.     His  commission  was  signed  by  James  Madison,  and 
was  dated  7  Mar.  1809.     He  took  the  oath  of  office  5  April  1809.     His  first  official  act 
was  to  divide  the  territory  into  the  two  counties  of  St.  Clair  and  Randolph.     After- 
wards, when  Ninian'Edwards  was  appointed  the  governor  of  the   territory,  Gov. 
Pope  became  secretary.     On  the  14th  of  March   1812,  Gov.  Edwards  ordered   an 
election  for  the  purpose  of  ascertaining  the  wish  of  the  people  about  organizing  under 
the  act  of  congress  as  one  of  the  territories  of  the  second  class.     September  14  he  is- 
sued his  proclamation  declaiming  that  a  majority  of  those   who  had  expressed  an 
opinion  were  in  favor  of  the  proposed  change,  and  calling  for   an  election  of  mem- 
bers of  the  legislature  to  be  held  on  the  8th,  9th  and  10th  days  of  October.  The  legis- 
lature had  its  first  session,  beginning  25  Nov.  1812. 

The  laws  which  were  enacted  at  that  and  the  succeeding  sessions  of  the  legisla- 
ture, were  not  gathered  together  until  1815.  On  the  4th  of  July  of  that  year,  Mat- 
thew Duncan,  printer  to  the  Territory,  issued  from  his  office  in  Kaskaskia,  the  revi- 
sion of  Nathaniel  Pope.  It  was  in  two  volumes.  The  first  had  304  pages  and  an 
index  :  thp  second  was  paged  from  30fi  to  710,  nnd  nlso  contained  a  copious  and  care- 


vi  INTRODUCTION. 

ful  index.  The  counties  liail  now  increased  to  six,  namely:  Madison  and  St. 
('lair  in  the  first  circuit,  Randolph  and  Johnson  in  the  second,  and  Gallatin  and 
Edwards  in  the  third. 

The  similarity  of  this  book  to  the  present  statutes  is  much  more  striking  than 
the  resemblance  in  Jones'  Revision.  Whole  chapters  appear  in  the  form  that  they 
still  wear.  Indeed  the  entire  plan  and  arrangement  of  the  statutes  of  Illinois — 
taken  as  -i  wlx>k — remain  at  this  moment  in  the  shape  that  Judge  Pope  impressed 
njM.n  them.  To  him  really  belongs  whatever  of  merit  that  plan  may  possess.  His 
book  is  now  rare,  only  a  few  copies  being  accessible.  It  contains  of  course  many 
curious  provisions.  Thus,  attorneys'  fees  are  limited:  "In  all  civil  actions  where 
the  titles  of  land  do  not  come  in  question  $2.50.  Where  titles  of  land  do  come  in 
question  $5.  For  every  verbal  advice  where  suit  is  not  depending  $1.25.  Written 
advice  where  suit  is  not  depending  $2.50."  A  constable  was  allowed  fifty  cents 
"lor  whipping  each  person  for  a  misdemeanor  by  order  of  any  court  or  justices  of 
the  peace."  Attachments  against  absconding  debtors,  are  authorized.  The  punish- 
ment for  stealing  a  horse,  or  receiving  a  stolen  horse,  by  an  act  of  26  Oct.  1808,  is 
death.  There  is  a  very  stringent  act  to  prevent  dueling,  which  was  passed  7  April 
1810,  and  is  said  to  have  been  adopted  from  the  Virginia  code.  A  reward  of  $50. 
to  each  citizen  and  *25.  to  each  ranger  who  shall  kill  a  hostile  Indian,  is  offered  by 
act  of  24  Dec.  1814.  For  pursuing  such  an  Indian  to  his  own  country  and  there 
killing  him,  #100.  Larceny  and  many  other  crimes  are  punishable  by  whipping,  in 
the  discretion  of  the  court.  The  first  act  in  Pope's  revision  is  one  declaring  what 
laws  were  then  in  force  in  the  territory.  As  such,  it  specifies  all  the  general  laws 
of  Indiana  which  were  in  force  on  the  1st  of  March  1809,  and  the  laws  passed  by  the 
governor  and  judges  of  the  Illinois  territory,  and  un repealed  by  them. 

X.  The  session  laws  of  1819,  though  perhaps  not  usually  so  considered,  are  really  the 
next  revision  of  the  laws  of  Illinois.  It  comprises  the  statutes  which  were  enacted 
by  the  first  legislature  which  assembled  after  the  state  was  admitted  into  the 
Union.  At  the  first  glance  it  has  no  appearance  of  being  anything  more  than  a 
confused  collection  of  acts,  some  public  and  some  private,  with  no  attempt  at  a  di- 
vision into  chapters.  But  a  more  careful  examination  of  the  acts  themselves,  and  the 
subjects  to  which  they  relate,  will  show  that  the  subjects  of  the  several  public  acts 
are  so  arranged  as  to  succeed  each  other  in  alphabetical  order,  following  the  ar- 
rangement of  Pope's  revision.  Indeed  it  would  appear  that  all  the  former  acts  on 
each  subject  had  been  consolidated  and  re-enacted  as  one  act,  with  but  little  amend- 
ment. Xear  the  close  of  the  volume  is  an  act  repealing  all  the  former  laws  of  the 
territory,  with  some  few  specified  exceptions,  chiefly  of  private  acts.  It  contains 
:r>7  pages,' and  concludes  with  a  copious  and  careful  index.  It  was  printed  at  Kas- 
kaskia.  From  that  time  until  1827,  the  legislature  contented  itself  with  merely 
amending  the  acts  of  1819,  isssiiing  at  the  close  of  each  session  a  thin  volume  em- 
bodying their  labors. 

4.  But  at  the  session  of  1827,  another  revision  was  prepared.  Hon.  Samuel  D. 
Lockwood,  who  was  at  that  time  a  judge  of  the  supreme  court,  says  that  at  the 
session  of  1827  the  legislature,  by  an  act  for  the  purpose,  authorized  and  requested 
the  supreme  judges  to  prepare  a  revision.  For  various  reasons,  however,  the  duty 
of  preparing  a  full  code  of  statutes  was  but  partially  completed.  Judges  Lockwood 
and  Smith  presented  the  result  of  their  labors,  which  was  adopted,  and  the  laws 
then  presented  by  them,  have  been  a  part  of  every  revision  since.  They  are  said  to 
have  been  the  the  authors  of  the  laws  under  the  titles  Abatement,  Account,  Amend- 
ments and  Jeofails,  Apprentices,  Attachments,  Attorneys,  Bail,  Bills  of  Exchange, 
Chancery,  Conveyances,  Courts,  Depositions,  Detinue,  Dower,  Evidence,  Forcible 
Entry  and  Detainer,  Fugitives  from  Justice,  Habeas  Corpus,  Jails '  and  Jailers, 
Limitations,  Mandamus,  Minors  and  Orphans  (now  Guardian  and  Ward),  Ne 
Exeat  and  Injunctions,  Oaths  and  Affirmations,  Practice,  Promissory  Notes,  Re- 
plevin, Right  of  Property  and  Sheriffs  and  Coroners.  The  Criminal  Code  was  pre- 
pared by  Judge  Lockwood.  The  act  concerning  Frauds  and  Perjuries,  by  Judge 
McRoberts.  Insolvent  Debtors,  by  Judge  Sawyer.  Wills  and  Testaments,  by  Judge 
Young.  Judgments  and  Executions,  by  Henry  Starr.  The  legislature  determined 
to  undertake  the  remainder  of  the  work,  and  the  result  was  the  revision  of  1827. 
It  is  a  volume  of  384  pages.  Unlike  the  statutes  of  1819,  it  contains  no  general  act 


INTRODUCTION.  VU 

repealing  former  laws  ;  but  at  the  end  or  each  act  is  a  section,  which  in  terms  re- 
peals the  former  acts  on  that  particular  subject.  The  various  acts  are  separated  by 
titles,  most  of  which  are  now  the  titles  of  chapters.  It  was  printed  at  Vandalia. 

At  the  next  session,  in  1829,  it  was  found  that  the  revision  of  1827  had  omitted  a 
considerable  number  of  very  important  acts  ;  these  were  therefore  revised  and  re- 
enacted,  in  the  same  manner  as  those  in  the  former  volume,  so  that  this  book  is 
really  a  supplement  to  the  revision  of  1827,  and  it  takes  an  examination  of  both  vol- 
umes to  show  the  condition  of  the  law  on  a  given  subject.  For  this  reason  proba- 
bly, the  acts  of  1829  were  entitled  "Revised  Laws,"  and  have  usually  been  cited  as 
the  Revised  Laws  of  1829.  This  volume  was  printed  at  Cincinnati,  for  publishers  in 
Shawneetown. 

5.  The  next  revision  is  that  of  1833.     It  contains  nothing  to  show  by  whom  it 
was  prepared.     The  plan  and  arrangement  is  the  same  as  before.     There  is  no  di- 
vision into  chapters.      Three  thousand  five  hundred  copies  were  printed  by  the  state 
for  distribution.      The  printing  was  done  at  Vandalia.     Former  acts  are  in  terms 
repealed,  and  a  list  of  them  is  given.     It  does  not  contain  the  militia  law,  which 
was  printed  separately. 

6.  In  1839,  Stephen  F.  Gale,  of  Chicago,  published  a  compilation  of  the  statutes, 
prepared  by  himself.     It  was  a  careful  work  and  for  a  long  time  was  the  chief  au- 
thority for  statute  law  in  Illinois.     Many  references  to  it  appear  in  the  earlier  re- 
ports.    The  plan  of  arrangement  was  very  simple,  being  the  same  which  was  after- 
wards pursued  by  Judge  Purple,  and  in  Gross'  statutes.     That  plan  is  merely  this : 
To  give  all  the  acts  on  each  subject  together,  under  a  single  general  title,  and  to 
follow  the  order  of  time  in  placing  the  various  amendments.     This  book,  being  a 
compilation,  and  brought  out  by  private  enterprise,  without  the  authority  of  the 
legislature,  did  not  attempt  to  modify  any  statute — it  simply  presented  them  in  a 
convenient  form. 

7.  We  come  now  to  the  last  revision — that  of  1845.     It  was  prepared  by  General 
Mason  Brayman,  an  eminent  lawyer.     He  has  so  well  described  the  character  of 
the  task  he  performed  that  we  re-produce  his  language:     "The  only  object  possi- 
ble of  attainment  was  sought — that  of  collating  and  arranging  the  laws  of  the  state, 
in  accordance  with  their  true  spirit  and  intention,  making  them  plain  and  intelligi- 
ble, and  relieving  them  from  that  smothering  load  of  useless  verbiage,  contradic- 
tions and  doubts,  which  had  been  accumulating  through  so  many  years  of  changing 
legislation.     The  object  became,  not  so  much  to  make  new  laws,  or  to  depart  mate- 
rially from  the  spirit  and  meaning  of  those  already  existing,  as  to  plain  away  ex- 
crescences, reconcile  contradictions,  and  condense  and  arrange  in  convenient  order 
all  that  remained  in  force  at  the  time.     Everything  that  had  been  repealed  or  su- 
perseded was  omitted — conflicting  provisions  were  reconciled,  and  sections  which 
Avere  obscure,  involved  or  doubtful  in  their  meaning,  were  re-written,  so  as  to  ex- 
press the  evident  intention  of  the  legislature,  and  conform  to  constructions  tixed  by 
the  supreme  court."     The  general  plan  and  outline  of  the  statutes  remained  as  be- 
fore, the  book  of  Mr.  Gale  being  closely  followed.      This  is  the  last  revision  that 
has  been  made  of  the  laws  of  Illinois.     The  work  was  so  well  and  faithfully  done 
that,  although  a  new  constitution  was  adopted  in  1848,  the  book  of  statutes  in  com- 
mon use  remained  the  same.     The  changes  in  the  constitution  made  some  changes 
in  the  laws  necessary,  but  the  revision  of  1845  and  the  session  laws  were  every  where 
consulted,  and  no  new  publication  of  statutes  was  attempted  for  nearly  twelve  years. 
The  state  published  and  distributed  among  the  public  officers  who  were  required 
to  know  and  to  carry  out  the  law,  an  edition  often  thousand  copies. 

8.  In  1856,  Norman  H.  Purple,  of  Peoria,  a  distinguished  lawyer,  and  former]  y  ;i 
judge  of  the  Supreme  court,  published  a  compilation  of  the  statutes  of  Illinois,  in 
two  octavo  volumes.     The  plan  was  simple.     Following  the  revision  of  1845,  the 
new  acts  were  one  by  one  placed  next  after  the  chapters  to  which  they  were  most 
nearly  related.     It  was  annotated  with  references  to  many  decisions  of  the  supreme 
court,  and  has  always  been  a  popular  book  with  the  lawyers.    The  state  purchased, 
for  distribution,  one  thousand  copies. 

,  9.  Two  years  later  a  compilation  of  the  statutes,  also  in  two  volumes,  was  pub- 
lished by  D.  B.  Cooke  and  company  of  Chicago.  The  names  of  Samuel  II. -Treat, 
Walter  B.  Scates  and  Robert  S.  Blackwell  appear  on  the  title  page  as  the  compilers. 
It  is  usually  cited  as  Scates'  Compilation,  and  is  commonly  understood  to  have  been

mainly  prepared  by  Judge  Scales.  The  slate  purchased  two  thousand  copie*. 
10.  Ten  years  afterwards — in  December,  1868 — the  first  edition  of  Gross' statutes, 
one  thousand  in  all,  was  published.  The  state  purchased  five  hundred  copies,  and 
an  act  was  passed  declaring  it  to  be  evidence  in  the  courts.  A  second  edition  has 
been  prepared,  and  is  now  in  use,  including  the  acts  of  1869.

TIME  WHEN  STATUTES  TAKE  EFFECT.  —  Under  the  constitution  of  1848,  no  public 
act  is  in  force  until  the  lapse  of  sixty  days  from  the  adjournment  of  the  general  as- 
sembly, unless  otherwise  expressly  so  stated  in  the  act  itself.  Art.  3  §23.  It  ha* 
long  been  the  practice,  in  the  official  publication  of  the  laws  of  each  session,  to 
mark  against  each  act  the  date  when  it  was  supposed  to  take  effect.  But  this  date 
has  almost  uniformly  been  computed  as  sixty  days  from  the  day  when  the  act  was 
approved,  and  not  from  the  close  of  the  session.  Many  mistakes  on  this  point  have 
therefore  crept  into  the  various  publications  of  our  statutes.  For  convenience  of 
reference,  a  table  of  the  sessions  of  the  general  assembly  is  subjoined,  by  which  the 
time  when  any  act  went  into  operation  can  be  determined  at  a  glance.  It  is  pre- 
pared from  a  careful  examination  of  the  journals  of  the  assembly.  Consult  on  this 
subject,  Wheeler  v.  Chubbuck,  16  111.  361.

REPEALING    STATUTES. 

NOTE. — This  is  an  attempt  to  bring  together 
and  classify  the  acts  which  in  terms  repeal  a 
former  act.  It  is  doubtless  incomplete.  The 
general  subject  of  the  acts  repealed  is  shown  by 
the  side  titles  in  italic;  the  classification  follows 
the  revised  statutes  of  1845.  The  different  re- 
pealing acts  are  separated  by  periods.  Words 
expressing  the  subject  of  any  particular  act 
refer  to  the  repealed  and  not  to  the  repealing 
act.  Reference  is  first  made  to  the  book  and 
page  of  the  repealing  act,  and  afterwards,  in 
parenthesis,  a  reference  is  in  many  cases  made 
to  the  book  and  page  of  the  act  repealed.  The 
abbreviation  "Ib."  if  not  in  parenthesis,  cites 
the  last  preceding  reference  which  is  not  in  pa- 
renthesis. "Ib."  in  parenthesis,  cites  the  last 
preceding  reference  in  parenthesis.
